Ethan loves Mario

Ethan’s birthday is about a month away and the planning has started. This is one kid who knows his mind… he knows exactly what kind of party, cake and presents he wants – and he’s not afraid to tell me, or anyone else for that matter!

Every year I have the boys parties at our house, and every year I say “Next year I am doing what the other (smarter) Mums do, and am having the party at a party place!” Especially because both of the boys birthdays fall in or around winter – that means that I have 15 kids tearing apart my house. Yet, another year rolls around and I do it at home all over again!

The parties I have had for the boys in the past have been a lot of work, and this one will be no different (that’s why I am having to start a month out). But the truth is that I really get a kick out of doing it. I must, right? Or else I would stick to my word and STOP.

I spent most of my day looking up ideas for a fun Mario birthday party, and I think I have a few good ones. I haven’t yet found any cake ideas that The Man approved of, so still a lot of researching to do before I can get started on things. There will be lots of posts to follow over the next month regarding Mario – that’s for sure!

Moving on – this is not related to this rest of this post, except that it is still about Ethan. He is in a full day, every other day, Junior Kindergarten program. So he goes to school all day Monday, Wednesday and every other Friday. He handles it well – but he is my kid who LOVES to sleep and would take a nap every single day of his life if he could. Going to school all day puts a bit of a crimp in that plan.

Well, Monday was his first day back at school and while he really enjoyed it, it clearly pooped him right out, because the poor guy couldn’t even make it through dinner.

Poor tired baba. By the
